I wanted a noon game because of the cold temperatures but I will just have to dress in layers. I never get invited to a tailgate never have been before. Been going off and on to home games since 1995 and haven't been invited to tailgate once yet.
Get you a good bottle of single barrel bourbon and you don't need to be invited. Just walk up to a fun looking bunch of people, bring out the bottle, and say "Go Vols!" The party will commence.
